Is there any control container for input fields? I have a splitter container with a two cells. In the first cell is a tree control and after double click on some node i want to show input fields in the second cell, for this node.

There is no control container for screens (dynpros) that can be recommended fpr everyday use. You basically have two options:

You could use a control to emulate an input screen. This might be a dynamic document (see reports DD_*) or an ALV control. From my experience, this can quickly turn into a lot of work and a long-term maintenance nightmare because you have to bend some of the dialog processing logic almost to its breaking point.

The other - and more common - option is to use a screen for the detail data and attach the tree as a docking container. This is the way that SE80 and similar transactions work. The user might perceive it as a master (tree) / detail (screen) view, but technically it's a detail (screen) + navigation (tree) implementation.
